Brewing With Total Confidence
Separate names with a comma.
I'm rather perplexed. What happens in the mash is always very predictable, so it can't be my pH meter, because then I would get these strange...
It's nice to have it confirmed from others:).
A lazy day. Just sniffing the airlock of a happily bubbling saison. Smells great:). I'm a compulsive airlock sniffer. It's nothing I'm proud of;...
No, I have now ascertained that carrageenan does not raise pH, and I'm sure the glucose don''t. So there must be some other explanation....
A late addition of chalk might cause something like this, as it's effect might be a bit delayed, but no, I haven't done that.
That sounds like a reasonable possible explanation, but I'm afraid it's wrong, as is my whole idea that carrageenan is the cause of what happens...
Supermoss is carrageenan mixed with glucose (dextrose, corn sugar). I don't know what glucose will do to the pH of distilled water, but I doubt it...
When I measure pH in the cooled wort before pitching, I find that it is higher than it was when I measured it towards the end of the boil. It is...
I did some research, and it seems there is traditional yeast that has survived in Latvia, too. (http://www.garshol.priv.no/blog/328.html)
The polish beer is rather well smoked, and it's nothing wrong with it if you like that. I'm not a big fan of smoky beers, but I can enjoy an...
It's this one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grodziskie Ron Pattinson about it in 2007:...
Don't bottle too early. Give the yeast time to settle. It will still be plenty in suspension to take care of the priming sugar and suply you with...
It's this trend trend that gets my goat. I was in Warszaw this summer, at their beer festival. Lots of homebrewers serving their brews, competing...
A very simple solution to the problem of boiling over is to just skim as you're about to reach the boiling point. I always do that, and I can, if...
It's always hard to tell from a photo, but I tend to agree with @Trialben . About hops for the recipe: I'd try Loral here. What do you guys think...
Definitely! Based on my own experiences - which of course don't prove anything - I do not put much trust in that 6 month guarantee. I've had a...
Shitty palate;)? There's some truth to that, I'm afraid:(.
They grow exponentially, yes, but they'll stop reproducing when the store of sterols/lipids they started out with - and which is not replenished -...
My copy of the latest edition of How to Brew looks like a preacher's Bible:). You just can't make all that stuff stick in your head (not when...
My version: I forget to mark my fermenters - and which of those 5 was the American wheat, which one was the Cream Ale and which one was the...
